Didn’t Grok also claim he’s fitter than LeBron and smarter than da Vinci? Perhaps being an olympic piss drinker has been the key to his success.

Probably not even mint-specific since it happens on pop os too

Or maybe they’re overworked and burnt out

I’ve articulated why. Are you just here to argue in bad faith?

Lol what? Are you a troll? Or a bot?

Fallacy is just faulty reasoning, I don’t need to know all the ins and outs of how philosophers/logicians categorise them to know how to point out faulty reasoning. Knowing how to reason about things is far more important than throwing around buzzwords.

You accuse me of not being studious, yet you refuse to actually engage with what I say - you know what kind of fallacy that is? An ad hominem. Even a supposed ignoramus like me knows that. I wonder what that makes you?

I guess it’s easy to convince yourself of that when you haven’t really engaged with what I said, lol

Hey, idk all the names people have made up to categorise fallacies, but I do know you misapplied the no true scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, or at least a misunderstanding.

Honestly, claiming no true Scotsman fallacy over a semantic disagreement, is a fallacy in itself. I’m not talking about a “truer” or “purer” form of communism which marxist leninists failed to realise, because the definition I’m working with - of communism as a classless, stateless, moneyless society (and the ideas and ideologies branching from that definition) - encompasses far more than that specific ideology. This isn’t even a defence of communism - if anything, I’m pointing out there are other facets of communism that would make for a more interesting discussion than rehashing how bad the soviets were for the millionth time.

Technofeudalism, more specifically

OP asked about communism, not marxism-leninism specifically

Goddamn woke metals, that’s not how age works

It sponges around eating meat n stuff

So are we talking rothbardian libertarianism or libertarian socialism?

What did this “quiet rehabilitation” even entail? Did he actually take responsibility for the dogwhistles?

Sure, I don’t doubt that cost cutting factors into apple’s decision making, but it really feels like they went out of their way to make the internal file system intentionally awkward. I’m not particularly inclined to just chalk it up to cost cutting when it adds up to quite a pattern of controlling users’ access to their own data, which plays right into their infamously closed ecosystem.

Worth noting however that Apple have already made file transfer from iphones to anything outside their ecosystem a pain:

iphone to external drive on a mac is a nightmare. Can’t use the photos app, so you gotta use image capture which is laggy as hell and you either can “select all” or else you have to scroll through and select manually if you just want to transfer the latest photos.

For iphone to linux, granted, whoever’s using linux will likely be more familiar with the command line, but libimobiledevice and ifuse are anything but intuitive for the non-tech-savvy.

As for windows, Apple still wants you to use the apple-approved way but iirc I have, inconsistently, been able to get into the DCIM folder.

But even then once you do get into DCIM, the internal folder structure is absurd. Albums are just an illusion, all you get is a bunch of “###APPLE” folders containing around 1000 photos each, and to top it off you also gotta deal with the heic format. And if you wanted to access anything that isn’t photos or videos, good luck. On linux I’ve more albums than DCIM have showed up but they mostly just seemed to contain metadata files. I get that the user isn’t “supposed” to deal with this folder, but with the apple ecosystem so closed off and unfriendly to anything not-apple-approved, there isn’t really an alternative.

Slower transfer speeds is just the cherry on top.

guess, and sound confident while doing it.

Right, and that goes for the things it gets “correct” as well, right? I think “bullshitting” can give the wrong idea that LLMs are somehow aware of when they don’t know something and can choose to turn on some sort of “bullshitting mode”, when it’s really all just statistical guesswork (plus some preprogrammed algorithms, probably).

… a flow that can reasonably check itself for errors/hallucinations? There’s no fundamental reason why it couldn’t.

Turing Completeness maybe?

Useless for us, but not for them. They want us to use them like personalised confidante-bots so they can harvest our most intimate data

Ah
